I didn’t think you —ahem.” “It would be odd if (here was not,” said the preacher. “It was one of Bishop Butler’s.” “Bishop Butler’s, was it?” “Well, now, you surprise me I have read Dr Butler’s sermons, and Ido not recognise it.” “ Oh,” says the other, “you don’t know how I'manage._ I have two services—one in Welsh, one in English, Well, I translate his sermons into Welsh to begin with, and thus I am safe ; ray Welsh flock don’t read Butler. Then I take my Welsh and translate it into English, and after that the old boy himself would not know them again.”

Thb Peopib Watti Pbooi —There is no medicine prescribed by physicians or sold by Druggists,- that oanies such evidence of its success and superior virtue as Boscbee’s German Syrup for severe Coughs, Colds settled on the breast, Consumption or any disease of the Throat and Lungs.

Counsel for one of the defendants moved for a nonsuit, on the ground that she was too promiscuous.

A flock of these fellows besieged me, and I winged three of them.” The motion for a nonsuit was denied.

A journalist tells the following;—l have picked up a “ little story,” which I think too good to be lost, as a reproof for disturbers of peace in church. _ A certain dissenting minister was preaching in rny neighborhood, and was much annoyed bv persons talking and giggling. Re paused, looked at the disturbers and said, “I am always afraid to reprove those who misbehave in chapel. In the early pait of my ministry I made a great mistake. As I was preaching, a young man who sat before me was constantly laughing, talking, and making uncouth grimaces. I paused and administered a severe rebuke. After the close of the service one of the official members came to me and said, “Sir, you made a great mistake. The young man whom you reproved is an idiot.” “ Since then I have always been afraid to reprove those who misbehave in chapel, lest I should repeat that mistake and reprove another idiot,” During the rest of that service there was good order.
